Rossnowlagh open water swim


The Donegal Surf Lifesaving/Donegal Water safety club are organizing a sponsored swim from Creevy Pier to Rossnowlagh beach to raise a bit of cash for buying equipment. It’s meant to be about 5km but is more like a 4km swim.

It was raised at a club meeting at the weekend that there are a number of people not involved in the club including a few from Mullaghmore Tri club interested in doing the swim. It was decided that any one interested would be allowed to do it if they collected a bit of sponsorship or just throw a min €20 onto the sponsorship card.

It might be of interest to anyone who was considering doing the Rosses point to Strandhill swim. This won’t be as hard a swim as your swimming with the tide towards the beach. It’s currently planned to have the swim on Sunday morning the 18th July at 8am. This will be subject to sea conditions.
